What boasting?
As for the actual content: the same not being doable by manually animating an explosively increasing number of models is a fact. So that's not boasting as in making wild, subjective claims.
As for the form: he's being interviewed by Digital Foundry - a videogame tech blog. So he's not boasting as in pushing a tech feature matrix over other aspects of the game or trying to be confrontational against the art of animation.
Your words: "Big deal. Sounds like every other pretty game out there"
In this context it is a big deal, and it's not like every other pretty game out there. It's a nice accomplishment, and he's right to be proud of it.
